Call for bushfire regions to get fire policy say

The Victorian Lands Alliance wants people living in bushfire-prone areas to have more of a voice on fire management policies.

The alliance has launched an online survey about a range of issues, including prescribed burning and grazing on public land.

Alliance secretary Max Rheese says people in fire-risk areas usually have a lot of advice to give.

"Rural communities and peri-urban communities that face bushfire risk, are very concerned that their knowledge and expertise is not being taken on in so far as government decisions and decisions of fire agencies [are concerned]," Mr Rheese said.
